Herbed Mashed Potatoes
"I like the cheese, herbs and garlic in this potato dish. You can use other herbs if you prefer, parsley and chives is also a nice combination. It will depend on the type of potatoes you use how much milk and sour cream you need."

Totally packed full of flavour with nothing being predominant, I used fresh basil and garlic chives from the garden and a sharp extra tasty vintage cheddar (though only about 3 ouces instead of 4 and garnished the left overs on the mash) I was only serving 3 but had enough for 4 or 5 so it looks like potato cakes in the morning for breakfast. Made for Pets' Cook-A-Thon in her memory. -
Totally awesome, Pets!!! The additions of the herbs and especially the sour cream and cheese are worth the effort (and extra calories). The cheese adds a nice golden hue to the taters and the sour cream adds an extra creaminess. WONDERFUL recipe! Made for Pets' Cook-a-Thon in Cooking Photos. -
yummy! I only had fresh chives so I used more. I used 1/4 cup 2% fat milk, only 1 garlic clove, 4 tbs of fat-free sour cream, and omitted nutmeg. Thanks Pets :) Made for your cookathon -
My DH and I both enjoyed these taters! I scaled the recipe down just a bit. Thanks Annelies! Made for LiveStrong. -
First let me say that I expected to like these potatoes as I am a mashed potato fan. These were CRAZY good! I wandered around the garden and ended up with parsley, chives and basil as add ins. I had never had basil in mashed potatoes before. I used extra old cheddar and a pinch of nutmeg and needed very little milk. Five stars in this house! Thanks so much for posting Made for LiveStrong.

I thought these were very good potatoes. I had some chives on hand so when the picture was on the front page at zaar I knew what I should do with them. I used russet potatoes and cream instead of milk just cuz. I did omit the basil this time because I used up all I had on the chicken I was making. They were a nice change from regular mashed potatoes.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
